Any Occasion ‘Hello’ Card ~ In Good Taste

August 6, 2021July 20, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

In the past I have shared that I love Designer Series Paper (DSP), I have also admitted that I tend to be a bit of a hoarder, always thinking that I will have the perfect project for that ‘some day’ so would save it for another day! I am trying to mend my ways and have been using it more and more!

I shared a card on Wednesday which featured DSP and to prove I am reforming I have another to share today, featuring the ‘In Good Taste’ DSP ~ which has a variety of wood and tile effect prints that make perfect backgrounds as well as focal points.

Biggest Wish Super Simple Guy Card

August 4, 2021July 20, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I am really taken with the Biggest Wish Stamp Set ~ I love that I can create nice, big greetings for my cards, this is especially true for today’s card as I made it for my nephew so that is not ‘over the top’ as he is not into fancy!

I chose to use some decorative paper with checks and pull the checks thru the card by using one of the new embossing folders. This is a very quick and simple card to make you could use the same sketch, changing out the decorative paper and card colors to create a card for any occasion.

Flip Over Calendar ~ August Dragonflies

August 2, 2021July 18, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I say this when the 1st of every month comes around…………. I cannot believe we are over half way thru 2021 !!!! I am glad to say that this year has gone a lot better than 2020 as things are opening up and I am able to spend time with friends again.

In the early part of last December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another later in this new year! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, August which has gentle dragonflies.

Easy, Pansy Petals ‘Hello Friend’ Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have shared the Pansy Petals Suite before, I love it with all the beautiful pansies. The Designer Series Paper is really spectacular and to ensure its beauty I made it the main part of my card.

I paired the paper with the coordinating Pansy Patch Stamp Set along with the greeting from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. Each month I send a thank you card to everyone who shops with me for the Stampin’ UP! goodies, and this is the one I made for my June customers.

Slimline Silver Embossed Celebrate Card Idea

July 27, 2021July 16, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Last week my brother and sister-in-law celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, which is silver! Neither of them are into delicate, dainty or fancy, so after much thought and a stroll thru my stamp sets I decided the Stacked Stone Stamp would make a fantastic background with some elegant leaves from the Artistic Dies.

To bring in the silver theme I heat embossed the Stacked Stone image with Silver Embossing Powder. I did not want to add too much bulk to the card as it has to be posted to the UK, so the heat embossing had a huge impact.

Elegant Multipanel Pop-out, Fancy Fold Card

July 22, 2021July 16, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

One of the most stunning set of decorative papers in the 2021 – 2022 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog is the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has beautiful neutrals which are the backdrop to silver, gold and copper gilding. Rather than using just one of the designs I looked for a fancy fold card where I could display as many of the different designs as possible and that is the card I share today.

I used the other coordinating products for this paper, the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Elegant Tag Punch. I also chose to use Basic Gray and Gray Granite Card as a background.

Pretty Floral Birthday Card in Soft Greens

July 18, 2021July 11, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

After the strong, regal colors I used on Friday, today’s card features soft, subtle shades of Soft Seafoam and Soft Succulent. The colors go together beautifully and needed the softness of the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set to carry thru the subtleness I was going for.

I have chosen to make this a birthday card but it would be easy to change out the greeting to cover almost any other occasion. 🙂

Thank You Card with Gold Pierced Leaves

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I was looking for a different color combination for my card today, I know I don’t use Mango Melody very much so was determined that would be one of them. Blackberry Bliss is a favorite of mine but I needed something in between these two, so after much thought I chose Mossy Meadow, it gives a nice transition between the other two.
